Alright so I have a brief announcement or something today and that
|
||
|
is, I have officially stopped using Gentoo. Yes that's right, the Gentoo elitist
|
||
|
is now an Arch cuck. But why, why would you commit such a crime you might say?
|
||
|
Well, Gentoo has actually been giving me more and more problems for months now,
|
||
|
and it doesn't seem to get any better.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I've had so many dumb issues with Gentoo recently, such as Xft fonts being
|
||
|
broken, packages failing to emerge, `--depclean` removing my entire system,
|
||
|
and the final straw, gnome-keyring issues that just do not occur on
|
||
|
other GNU/Linux distributions. In case you're not aware, I have been using
|
||
|
Arch on my laptop for months now, and while Arch has some annoying issues
|
||
|
such as GPG keys constantly breaking pacman when updating, I find that it
|
||
|
works much better now.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To make matters worse for Gentoo, syncing the repositories takes a very
|
||
|
long time, and it's valuable time that I do not want to spend just because a
|
||
|
program is slow and written in Python. Moving over to Arch was not difficult
|
||
|
though. I said 'fuck it' yesterday at around 04:00 in the morning, and
|
||
|
started installing Arch over Gentoo. Thankfully, as you guys know I have
|
||
|
an arch repository containing nearly the same programs as my Gentoo
|
||
|
repository (overlay), and as such I was able to install my config files
|
||
|
and all my programs using one command. It's super nice, otherwise I
|
||
|
would've probably spent much more time on this.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Anyways, as for my overlay, I will probably update it every once in a
|
||
|
while using maybe a docker container, but I'm going to be focusing on
|
||
|
the arch repository because it's what I'm using. For those of you
|
||
|
that actually use Arch, this might be good news for you because it means
|
||
|
you will always be able to install my software using pacman. I know
|
||
|
that some of you will probably be disappointed about this, because I'm
|
||
|
kind of known as a Gentoo user at this point, but I just can't take
|
||
|
Portage's stupidity anymore. If you need to however, feel free to remove
|
||
|
my feed!
|
||
|
|
||
|
I also took the time to move /home to a separate partition,
|
||
|
which is really nice if you want to reinstall quickly. Whatever, that's
|
||
|
all I needed to say with this blog post. Have a good day!
